O Muslim, how you let yourself surrounded by a sick and suffocating Environment?

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful

My Muslim brothers and Sisters, This is very important for what I am going to write today. So, pay your utmost attention. If you are aged 10 or 28 or whatever, this is your story.

I have to make a point here. For you to understand that point I will use an analogy. This analogy could be a true fact for someone’s life. If this happens in your case, please do not feel overwhelmed by this rather take the lesson for your life and for the life of your peers. For others, take the analogy as close as possible to a personal level. Remember, FIRSTLY, Islam is about believing in the unseen (Quran 2.3, 67.12) which is imagination, so imagine it as close as possible to understand the meaning of the point I am going to make.

Well now, Lets start the story. Say, you have a loving father, you love him so much, you admire him so much, you honour him so much. Why? Because he spent his life caring for you. He sacrificed his time, his hobby, his passion, his career for you so that you become a passionate person, so that you become a person you deserve to be. He is a father that did things for his child that a father can do best in the world. Most importantly he made you a friend of his. You watched how he spent time with you, playing with you just to make you laugh.

And if you are a sensitive person, you know how much your loving father has been extra careful towards respecting your personality. So all these make you to love him and respect him and hold high esteem about him.

:::::::::::::::::

Suddenly you came to know, this father of yours had another married life. He has a son like you in another family. Let’s name him “XYZ”. You never knew this has happened. But life is so complex that for some reason this could even happen to a good person. So your father is not really a cheater to you or to your mother, but this somehow happened in his life for an unavoidable cause. You have no feelings of hatred or anger towards your father and your mother does not blame him for this either. Things are easy with you and your family.

But now, the boy XYZ, never had his father with him. He has no idea what it’s like to have a father nor does he know the feeling of being loved and cared for by a father. He missed out on everything that you received. Therefore, the feeling he has towards his and your father is disgust, anger and hatred. He too, has a father, but at the wrong time, wrong place and the wrong person. Clearly, the mental environment he’s in is completely opposite to what you have. Now you can be sympathetic towards this boy realistically, there is no wrong with that. He has all the reasons to dislike, disgust and hate your father.

::::::::::::::::::

Imagine somehow, this boy XYZ brought to your life and in your family. You all accepted him being sympathetic. Being loving to your father, you also going too far compensating this boy on behalf of your father.

Now, if your father give an order to you and to XYN, things happened differently, right? You follow the command but he denies to follow it.

If your father likes something to do by both of you, things happened differently, isn’t it? He does the opposite.

If you father wishes something regarding you both, that happens totally differently as well, isn’t it? He does not care what is the wish of your father.

If there is a discussion about your father in front of both of you, things happens differently, true? He does not want to hear about him or he withdraws himself from the discussion.

Now, look at his response overall towards your father, you will see he has a “sick” mental condition about your father. Would you do the same thing to your father? Will you have the same sick mental condition to your father like he does? May be he has a reason to do that way, may be still you be sympathetic about his cause but question is, will you hold the same disgust, dislikes and same hatred towards your father and overall, will you live in the same sick mental environment about your father that XYZ has?

Never ever, right? This is the point that I wanted to make. If you really understood this point the rest would be easy!

:::::::::::::

Now, put this analogy in your life that your Creator, Allah, the most High, blessed you with. Are you not the one who love Allah? Are you not the one who took Allah as your Rabb? Are you not the one who took Allah as your guidance for your life?

But the world around you that you live in today does not belong to your Rabb, Allah, that you love, the world around you does not rule by the command of your Allah, the world you live in does not run by the system set by your Rabb, Allah.

Who they run by? Who they rule by? By those, who does not know about Allah or does not recognize Allah. Even they believe in a God but they believe in a “twisted God” which does not have anything to do with your pure Allah.

::::::::::::

Now, go back to that analogy, when you love you father, when it comes to the affairs regarding your loving father, you don’t want to live by the sick mental environment of your step brother. Then how can you live by the environment of those sick people who set your daily life today?

My brother, my sister, you pray five times today, right? Then you must be the one who love Allah. Then I give you few specific example here which you are doing because you live in the environment set by the sick people who does not recognize Allah or does not have a knowledge about their Creator or believe in a “twisted god”, you are engaged in the environment set by them.

that he heard the Prophet saying, “From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful.)

do any of these things has to do with the system of your loving Allah or these are the sick environment set by those who does not love your Allah, or does not have any knowledge about Allah or who does not recognize your Allah or who have a “twisted God” concept about your Allah.

How do you live in their sick environment, O my brother? O my sister?

When you don’t take the sick mental environment of your step brother XYZ about your loving father, then how can you live by the sick environment of those who have sick mental environment about your loving Allah?

If you are not the one falling under this category (and I certainly hope you are not) there must be someone you know falls in this category. Be it your brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, nieces, nephews, relatives, whoever you know, please pass this message to that person and save him from living by the environment made by those have no knowledge of his loving Allah. May Allah guide us all.

Mapping My Journey to Jannat Al-Firdous In Shaa Allah

SubhanAllah! What a beautiful dua you can make not only for your children but for your children’s children until the day of Qyamah. When you see your child, when you cuddle your child, do this practice, connect yourself and her/himself with Allah immediately, make dua. The BEST thing you can do for your children is […]

Dawah Made Easy

– What’s the choice, it’s my parents. They took care of me, now I need to take care of them. As simple as it is. They took care of me when I was child and needed help. Now they are child and needed help.

# That’s a very simple way to put this. But most of the people don’t understand this simple math of life. You must be very religious?
– you don’t have to be religious to do that.

# I know, it’s a normal human morality.
– But I am religious. I am Catholic.
